DM – could u give us a hint? (a few more words, singer’s name etc…..)

eftach: guess we’re outvoted ;P

geee, SIDI….. how did u know I get childish impulses?!

lol! yeah random! well whenever they pray in public (I prob wouldn’t use the word “daven” for muslims) they seem to be concentrating very hard….fortunately I don’t know any muslims personally so I can’t really ask…

The one thing no-one mentioned on this thread (sorry, ivory, to bump an old thread AGAIN….and Randomex….and anyone else who complained….I haven’t been here too long so I have so much to catch up on 😉 ) is that in the Torah’s times (meaning Yaakov and Leah etc.), they had a COMPLETELY different mindset!! I mean Avraham never even saw Sarah before they got married! These days, it’s a halacha! And someone said above that Yaakov and Leah’s marriage worked out fine….um, maybe I have the facts wrong, but I believe Yaakov wasn’t too thrilled with the initial arrangement, if I remember correctly….also, there are so many proofs in the Torah that marriage today just isn’t like it was then (Boaz and Rus)! You can’t just say, “Well, it’s what worked for Yidden in previous generations, so it’ll work for us.” But we aren’t on the same spiritual level as previous generations – I thought that would be obvious. Not that I am putting down the chassidish way – if that is your derech, then it’s great for you! But saying that it’s worked for Jews before doesn’t mean that it’s the best way for everyone these days.

No I’m not married 🙂 bit young for that! why are only married people supposed to get no sleep?? And btw, what are YOU doing up at this hour???

BTW – i don’t usually go to bed at 4am, but it has happened 🙂 usually around 1:30/2:00

ARFWS – i loooooooved car washes – they were like the treat of the century! Though I can see why you would be scared. I do other stuff during the day/night, and in between I post. Also, at like 3am, I think “What should I do now? I know. I’ll see if anyone replied on the CR.” If they did, then I post. Ditto for 4am. (I can survive on 4 hrs sleep a night)

I like people who sing like cats

oh stop it!!!!

That moment when….you find out that another poster on the CR: is a he when you thought they were a she/ is a she when you thought they were a he

LF – lol 😀 memyselfandi

LG – my filter doesn’t allow me to access YouTube. Also, I heard samples on Mostly Music. Chanale for me when it comes to female singers 🙂 I heard one of YCS songs, it sounded pretty good, but can’t really say coz only heard it once

Thank – you mods!! Good on you SIDI for bumping this thread the mods deserve a thank-you today too 🙂

PAA – oh good so I’m back in the book of world records 😉

I’m still trying to figure out how the Italian neighbour heard “Ma papa eats-a pasta” Doesn’t sound even vaguely similar to leining…..

Randomex – you still didn’t tell me why you think I am not from America! 🙂

Do the mods link the users?

sir. – AGREEEEEEEED!!!!!!!!

Didn’t you say once that you are sixteen? Or maybe I was just reading a really old thread…?

Jewishfeminist – wow. Wow. Wow. You inspire me. I don’t understand how you could keep saying what an amazing person Menucha is, when you were so pressed for time. I would have been stressed out of my mind! (Not too mention, I probably wouldn’t have done all that chessed in the first place). You are an amazing person. I’m jealous of your share in Olam Haboh.

I don’t sing so loudly! (Aside from obvious tznius issues, I would be way too embarrassed 😉 ) But yeah it keeps me calm 🙂

Oh thanx SIDI 🙂

Mi Adir from Alumni, as I said above is really gorgeous. Eli Gerstner sings a stunning mi adir (album: yosis). Also Dovid Gabay (album: Legabay – I THINK)

Mi bon siach – there’s always the classic abie one (I THINK its on an album called Kol Zimra??? or something??), probably way over-used but stunning anyway. I think he has composed a few but the one I’m thinking of is his nicest one (in my humble opinion, anyway;) ) Shalsheles 2 sings a stunning one as well, but again probably done too many times.

I am positive that Avraham Fried, MBD and Yaakov Shwekey all sing nice ones, just can’t think of them off the top of my head. Shwekey – maybe on cry no more? But I don’t really remember…. Also I think you should really consider the simcha leiner song, even if it’s not the exact words you’re looking for. It’s a gorgeous song, like all his music.

Shopping – yes from your posts I get the feeling that you seem to really think about what you say. You try to “keep the peace” – make sure that people aren’t degraded, insulted etc. I don’t think I have ever seen you post something mean. And your Rosh Hashana poem was really enjoyed by CR members!! 🙂
